| | CASSIUS |
| |
A peevish schoolboy, worthless of such honor, |
| |
Joined with a masker and a reveler! |
|
| CASSIUS |
|
An annoying schoolboy, unworthy of such an honor, joined by a
masquerader and a partier! |
|
| | ANTONY |
| |
Old Cassius still. |
|
| ANTONY |
|
Still the same old Cassius! |
|
| | OCTAVIUS |
| |
Come, Antony,
away.— |
| |
Defiance, traitors, hurl we in your teeth. |
| 65 |
If you dare fight today, come to the field. |
| |
If not, when you have stomachs. |
|
| OCTAVIUS |
|
Come Antony, let's go. Traitors, we defy you. If you dare
to fight today, come to the field. If not, come when you have the
courage. |
|
| Exeunt OCTAVIUS,
ANTONY, and their army |
|
| OCTAVIUS, ANTONY,
and their army exit. |
|
| | CASSIUS |
| |
Why, now, blow wind, swell billow, and swim bark! |
| |
The storm is up and all is on the hazard. |
|
| CASSIUS |
|
Now let the wind blow, waves swell, and ships sink! The storm has
begun and everything is at stake. |
|
| | BRUTUS |
| |
Ho, Lucillius, hark, a word with you. |
|
| BRUTUS |
|
Lucillius! I'd like a word with you. |
|
| | LUCILLIUS |
| 70 |
(stands forth)
|
| |
My
lord? |
|
| LUCILLIUS |
|
(coming forward) My lord? |
|
| BRUTUS and
LUCILLIUS converse apart |
|
| BRUTUS and LUCILLIUS
converse to the side. |

|
| | MESSALA |
| |
(stands forth)
|
| |
What says my general? |
|
| MESSALA |
|
(coming forward) What is it, my
general? |
|
| | CASSIUS |
| |
Messala, |
| |
This is my birthday, as this very day |
| |
Was Cassius born. Give me thy hand, Messala. |
| 75 |
Be thou my witness that against my will, |
| |
As Pompey was, am I compelled to set |
| |
Upon one battle all our liberties. |
|
| CASSIUS |
|
Messala, today is my birthday—I was born on this very
day. Give me your hand, Messala. |
|
You'll be my witness that I've been forced, as
Pompey was, to wager all of our freedoms on one battle. |
